In addition to Foley raise, extension and assistant raises, #UALR will also begin paying full cost of attendance, per AD Chasse Conque.

Full cost of attendance will be paid to #UALR MBB and WBB players, which Conque says, is an additional $125,000, based on 2014-2015 figures.

Per Conque, full cost of attendance for 15 WBB scholarship players is $67,000. That comes out to $4,446 per player on top of scholarship.

Each player will get $4446 on top of their scholarship

#UALR AD Chasse Conque also confirmed the hiring of MBB assistant Brian Burg. He's joining Chris Beard's staff from NC Central.

Burg's hiring has been reported, and if you check his Twitter bio, it's not a surprise. But, that's the first official word, I think.

I guess you'll have to "plain" that to an old timer who went to college back in the stone age. So what is the $4,446 for?

You got me. Sure it will be explained later

Maybe give each player a box of Trojan condoms, so they players won't have to quit in the middle of the season.

Yes I'm old Peter, you're right though, one box wouldn't last these young guys a week. A box would have lasted me a lifetime back in the day.

Supposed to make up for the general living expenses of the Athlete while they are in Little Rock.

Why is it different for each school? Looks like it makes for a bidding war in recruiting. ASU offers you over 5K, Georgia Southern 7K. We offer a little less, so we can't equally compete with ASU or Georgia Southern. What would a school like Arkansas and some of the other big namers offering? Seems so unfair. Not so much in that we're probably not going to be in the running with the hogs, but we are competing with ASU, Georgia Southern and other schools offering more than we can.
